Swords Alike: Chapter 1
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Tenchi Muyo! nor Rurouni Kenshin. Got that!?

{Kamiya Dojo}

It is a brisk, cool evening at the Kamiya Dojo. On a wonderful night like this you would think that everyone would have sat down and have a little rest and relaxation, but some people just can't rest all the time. It is 8:00 at night. Yahiko's hard at training, Sanosuke's lounging watching Kaoru and Kenshin, and Kaoru and Kenshin are washing the clothes. Their lives seem pretty peaceful now. There hasn't been any big crimes or plans to stop lately and it gave Kenshin some time to catch up with some training, but he rather spend most of his time helping Kaoru or playing with Subame and her sister.

"Um..Miss Kaoru? Do you mind if I kindly ask you a question?" Kenshin asks kindly.

"Go right ahead, Kenshin." She replies nicely. "What's on your mind?"

"Do you ever wonder about our lives. The way we live compared to others?"

"All the time since you all are my friends and all. You all are definitely like no others."

"Miss Kaoru, I mean, do you ever have the feeling that we might have people out there with our same interests, motives and lifestyles?"

"Sure, Kenshin, anything is possible. You should know that first-hand being a wanderer, right?"

"Well, I guess you got me on that one, that you did, Miss Kaoru."

"But seriously, do you know of any people like that?"

"No, but I have a funny feeling that there are actual people like that, that I do."

"Kenshin, finding someone anything like you is like Ryoga trying to find his way home!"

(A/N: I just felt bored and thought it could make an actual joke :p)

Soon, Kaoru and Kenshin starts laughing at the comment, while Sanosuke sits and watch them in their suspense. To him, they were a bit crazy in their own way, but were always his companions through and through. Sanosuke then sits up and watches them further.

"Those two lovebirds." He says to himself smiling. "That little missy and Kenshin never can stay away from each other, but I have to admit that Kenshin might be able to get a girl before I can at all."

"Ha! I knew it! You ARE jealous of Kenshin aren't you?" Yahiko says springing from behind Sanosuke. Sanosuke then grabs him by the shirt and stands up.

"Do you really think so, squirt? You don't even have a girl either." Sanosuke laughs.

"Hey! Take that back! I at least met a good one!"

"Keep on dreaming, little Yahiko." Yahiko then gets real angry by Sanosuke's comment and jumps on his head. Afterwards, he tries to gnaw on Sanosuke's head like a chew toy.

"If I ever run into anyone that acts like him, that'll be the day!" Sanosuke thought.

{Masaki's Residence}

Meanwhile, in another time, the Masaki residence isn't resting at all due to the party thrown for Tenchi. It's his 18th (A/N: I don't really know his real age) birthday and everyone are joyous. It is definitely a party none of the girls wanted to miss since most of them like Tenchi anyway. The time is also 8:00 at night and everyone is singing Karaoke.

"Lord Tenchi, why don't you sing with me." Aeka walks up to Tenchi and asks.

"I'd love..." Before he could finish, Ryoko comes and grabs him from Aeka.

"MOVE IT, AEKA! You already know Tenchi is mine so butt out and leave us alone." Ryoko says. "You really love me don't ya, Tenchi?" She tries her best to get Tenchi's attention, but before she could try anything else, Aeka shoves Ryoko aside and grabs Tenchi.

"Now, Lord Tenchi, you don't want to sing with that demon of a woman when you have me. We'll sing lovely music together!" She says kindly.

"No, Tenchi is mine!" Now, Ryoko grabs Tenchi's left arm.

"No, he's mine!" Aeka then grabs Tenchi's right arm.

"Mine!"

"No, mine!"

"No, he's mine!"

"HE'S MINE!" Aeka then orders her guards to shoot Ryoko.

"HE'S MINE!" Ryoko then aims energy blasts toward Aeka.

Eventually, the two start a fight and messes up half the house from it. Just then, when two of their blasts aims for each other, they nearly hit Tenchi. That's when Tenchi had enough.

Right before the two blasts collide with Tenchi, he yells,"THAT'S IT, ENOUGH!!" The blasts come in contact with Tenchi but Tenchi leaves the explosion unharmed and with his light hawk wings intact. "Now, would you two please stop this bickering? I'll sing with both of you but you can't fight like this all the time."

"We're...sorry." They said sorrowfully. They really couldn't say too much else. They knew Tenchi's full potential, and since he has just mastered it, his problems between Aeka and Ryoko's brawls became less and less.

They hear an explosion from Washu's labortory. Everyone jumps and rushes over to the door of the lab. Tenchi knocked on the door.

"Are you okay in there, Washu?" Tenchi asks. Nothing is heard. Tenchi then opens the door. To his surprise, Washu was leaning against the door and she fell on the floor black and charred.

"Miss Washu, are you okay?" Kiyone asks concernly.

"I..I..."Washu stutters. "I HAVE COME UP WITH THE MOST INGENIOUS PLAN THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!"

"What is it, Washu?" Mihoshi asks curiously.

"Well, I, have come up with a time traveling device that can transport you to any dimension at any time!"

Everyone says nothing for a second. "Washu, didn't you do that last year?" Sasami asks.

"Yes, my dear Sasami, but this time, this machine also will let us meet people of our same type. You know, interests, motives, and lifestyles.

(A/N: Sounds a bit familiar?)

"Exact duplicates almost?" Asks Tenchi.

"Want to find out, Tenchi?" Washu asks.

"YEAH!" They say.

{Somewhere Evil}

"Hm, so the Ingenious little Washu has devised another time machine. This is most pleasant!" Says a mysterious male voice. "Zero!"

"Yes, sir?" Says the android.

"Let's pay a visit our friend Washu, for times sake. HA HA, HA HA HA, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
